Well, that didn’t take long. Why would Apple do this, when lots of companies will spring up to fill the void of proprietary anything? Silly Apple.

Let me start by saying that I’m not an audiophile however, the standard iPod earbuds do not fit comfortably in my ear. There is a way around this. I found a company called “Earsound Customs” at http://www.earsound.com. They make an iPod attachment so that my iPod earbuds snap onto these attachments which are actually custom molds of my ears made from an ear impression. The impression process took 10 minutes and was performed at a local hearing professional’s office. The comfort is unparalleled. There was also an unintended benefit which is my cell phone’s hands free device also snaps into my iPod attachments so I can listen to my phone calls comfortably. Without question, this is a more expensive option then the “budfits” but budfits do not address the problem for me which is the earbud itself doesn’t fit in my ear. Hope this helps!
